"Bought security through ADT mainly for the automation options that come with the system. My spouse loves being able to turn on and off our lights in different areas of the house while we are gone. We travel often, so giving the illusion that we are home is a good deterrent."

Home Automation questions, answered by experts

This is the topic of much debate, though there is no “better,” as it depends on personal preferences. Some of the components of a wireless system keep working when the power goes out, as they are battery-powered. On the other hand, a wireless system typically connects to your modem and router. Wired systems use landlines to communicate, which never go out on their own unless they’re physically cut.

Some pieces of home automation technology are DIY-friendly, but these are usually stand-alone pieces of equipment that don’t interact with other components. Plus, you may not be able to monitor them from a centralized mobile application. They’re more affordable and can still be great for automating parts of your home, but for full control over your property from a single app or website for easy monitoring and automation, professional design and installation services is best. Plus, these services typically boost your home value, so you’ll see a great ROI on them over time, even if they cost more upfront.

Professional home automation services can include automation for nearly anything in your home, so the possibilities are endless. Some of the more common things homeowners use automation for include the following:

  • Heating and cooling for automatic comfort

  • Security cameras and emergency call systems

  • Door and window sensors to detect opening, closing, and break-ins

  • Solar system automation to maximize energy savings

  • Automatic door locks

  • Garage door openers

  • Speaker systems

  • Lighting

  • Appliances

  • Smoke and CO detectors

  • Blinds and other window coverings

  • Lawn irrigation systems

  • Water monitoring

There are two budget-friendly options: You can go the piecemeal route or install a self-monitored system. The piece-by-piece option involves purchasing and installing one item at a time, such as a video doorbell, and waiting before integrating additional components. Self-monitoring systems are often wireless with minimal monthly subscription fees, and cost less than extensive, multi-camera systems.

Smart thermostats allow remote control, energy savings, and detailed usage tracking through mobile apps.
